Chapter 104: Hypocrisy
() In late autumn, it was very cool, and occasionally there was a little wind, and the blue skirt of the cuttlefish was gently blown up, and it was swinging in the air leisurely against the wind, and she wrapped her coat tightly, trembling and walking forward, and her steps were getting slower and slower.
"It's only been a few days since I came out, and it's already so cold outside, it seems that it is indeed time for Ruyi to prepare winter clothes." She muttered quietly, tucking her hand into her sleeve.
Shungui followed behind the cuttlefish, dressed more thinly, but perhaps due to the different physique, he didn't look as afraid of the cold as the cuttlefish, and his waist was straight when he walked.
Seeing that the Heart Cultivation Hall was in front, the cuttlefish stretched out his hand and rubbed his cold face, and asked, "Shungui, has my hair been blown by the wind?" What about the clothes, are the clothes neatly dressed? ”
Shungui glanced at the cuttlefish and sighed secretly, saying that women are those who please themselves, and it is true. He replied, "The master is as beautiful as a flower, and there is no problem in dressing up, so you can rest assured." ”
This sound a little perfunctory, the cuttlefish snorted and gave Shungui a roll of his eyes, "It's the same as asking you and not asking." Shungui could only be dumbfounded.
After entering the Yangxin Palace, Gonggong Su led the cuttlefish to the direction of Xinuan Pavilion, and the cuttlefish thought that the emperor must be waiting for her alone inside, so she hurriedly walked in happily, but when she entered the Xinuan Pavilion, she found that there was still a person sitting next to the emperor.
It's Concubine Xi.
The cuttlefish's footsteps paused, and he was stunned for a moment, what is Concubine Xi doing here?
Although he was unhappy, he still had to reluctantly pretend on his face, and the cuttlefish calmed down, stepped forward and saluted, "The concubine meets the emperor, and the emperor is safe." Concubine Xi is auspicious. ”
"Excuse me, sit down quickly." The emperor's eyes were full of smiles that could not be hidden.
The cuttlefish sat on the pear wood chair next to her, lowered her eyes obediently, and her afterglow swept over the emperor's face, and then put down Concubine Xi's body. Concubine Xi was wearing a light-colored dark striped long skirt with a light purple jacket on the outside. It seems that her figure is slightly bloated, her makeup is delicate but not gaudy, and there are only a few hairpins in her hair, which is much more elegant than before. makes her look a little softer.
The appearance of Concubine Xi made the cuttlefish a little uneasy, she twitched the corners of her mouth, and her face was very embarrassed.
"How are these **** doing?" The emperor looked at the cuttlefish, and his concern naturally revealed, "I have wronged you in this matter." Don't take it to heart, I have already discussed with Concubine Xi to choose a good day to promote you to ......"
The emperor wanted to say that he would promote the cuttlefish to the concubine position, which he had agreed with Concubine Xi before, as long as the identity of the cuttlefish could not be found, he would use this as compensation. But before he could finish speaking, Concubine Xi opened her mouth and interrupted the emperor's words.
Concubine Xi said, "It's the carelessness of the palace." After hearing a few gossips from the Gu family, he took it as a real one, and looked forward to Su Guiren Haihan, the emperor ordered the palace to assist in the six palaces, and the palace really didn't dare to be careless, so there was such a ridiculous farce, which must have made you feel wronged. ”
I don't know if she deliberately didn't let the emperor finish speaking, the emperor opened his mouth in disdain, and he could only give up and let Concubine Xi speak first.
The cuttlefish suppressed the disgust in his heart. replied with a light smile, "Niangniang's words are serious, your move is to take care of the overall situation, and the concubine can't talk about grievances." As long as you don't make trouble for you and the emperor. ”
Hearing this, Concubine Xi picked up the tea cup on the table and calmed down, "Su Guiren is so generous, it is really rare in the harem, and this palace is a little angry about this matter." I always feel sorry for Su Guiren, alas. With that, she took a sip of the warm water in the bowl and breathed a sigh of relief.
The cuttlefish didn't know what to say, so he picked up a cup of tea placed next to him and took two sips. After half a cup of belly, she tasted this tea tasted strange, not like ordinary tea, and she couldn't help but look at it curiously.
"This is the Ruixue tea that this palace brought over." Concubine Xi may have seen the puzzled look of the cuttlefish, and explained, "This tea has the effect of reducing fire and removing heat, which is suitable for the palace to drink recently, and the palace thinks the effect is good, so I also gave some to the emperor." What does Su Guiren think of the taste? ”
The cuttlefish took another sip and reluctantly replied, "The concubine thinks it's very good, since this tea has medicinal effects, it must be a good thing." ”
Concubine Xi was very happy to see this, so she asked the palace people next to her to pour another cup of cuttlefish, she has been saying that this Ruixue tea has the effect of clearing heat, can defeat fire and drive away poison, although the taste is a little strong, but after drinking too much, you will get used to it, and the effect is better than the medicine prescribed by the doctor.
She has always been high, it is rare to have such a pleasant and pleasant face today, and the cuttlefish is not easy to brush her face, so she can only nod again and again.
After a while, Concubine Xi suddenly stood up, her face tired, "Your Majesty, the concubine is a little tired, and she wants to go back and lie down for a while. ”
She held her forehead, bowed slightly and asked the emperor, the emperor naturally would not keep it, and said slowly, "Then you have to rest well after returning to Jingren Palace, you have worked hard for you in the past few days, Yibin, go back and take care of your mother." ”
"The slave understands." It is advisable to respond to the road. Concubine Xi saluted the emperor, and then walked out of Xinuan Pavilion with Yi Hui's support.
The cuttlefish looked at Concubine Xi's back, and it was not until she could no longer see that she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves were relaxed.
She muttered dissatisfiedly, "What's so hard about Concubine Xi, it's just trying her best to torture me, and it's not doing anything serious!" ”
Seeing her resentful, the emperor smiled and comforted, "Okay, okay, things are over, with this lesson, presumably Concubine Xi will not find fault in the future, don't take it too seriously." You see, I still have kumquat just sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs here, you can eat some. ”
The emperor held a small square porcelain bowl, which contained golden and plump small kumquats, looking mouth-watering, the cuttlefish got up and moved over, but his mouth said angrily, "The emperor's concubine is a three-year-old child, a little fruit can be sent away, if this is the case, you also look down on the concubine too much, how can the concubine fulfill your wish!" ”
The cuttlefish slapped the emperor's hand, specially bypassed the orange, and went to take the words next to the plum in his mouth, "What is delicious about the fruit, you can't be generous, please eat something hearty for the concubine?" The concubine originally had good news to tell the emperor, but now that she looks at it, she still won't tell you. ”
"Good news?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at the cuttlefish curiously, "Why don't you have dinner in the Heart Cultivation Hall tonight, and tell me your good news by the way?" I haven't seen you for a long time, you must be thinking about me. ”
After hearing this, the cuttlefish snorted and laughed, "Your Majesty, it's okay, it's just that your skin is too thick-skinned......." ”
Halfway through her teasing words, she suddenly stopped, and the cuttlefish covered her lower abdomen, inhaled in pain, and suddenly fell to the ground...... (To be continued.) )
